By 2000, Johnny Cash was running out of time. He was sick, and it was starting to tug at his once powerful voice. But he was driven to continue working, by his wife June, producer Rick Rubin, and mostly by himself. American III was the third of the six American albums series. It was also the second to last studio album released during his lifetime. He was no longer touring, but he was still one tough hombre. On this album, he growls out songs of stubbornness and defiance, culling from artists who listened to him as kids that wrote in styles once unfamiliar to Cash. But Johnny had been proving for years that he didn’t care what kind of artist you were…he could cover your damned song. And indeed, late in his career especially, Cash had become an expert interpreter.
He takes on Tom Petty (“I Won’t Back Down”), Neil Diamond (“Solitary Man”) and U2 (“One”) with relative ease. He’s also not afraid of the likes of Will Oldham and Nick Cave. But this isn’t just Cash taking on youngsters. He also reaches back to older days with “That Lucky Old Sun” and the even older “Nobody” (from 1906). The traditional “Wayfaring Stranger” is in good hands, as is David Allan Coe’s “Field Of Stone”. In the second half, he even reaches back into his own catalog with re-recordings of three songs he wrote himself. Petty joins in on the opener, and even Merle Haggard shows up to sing on “I’m Leavin’ Now”. The next album would be a bigger hit (thanks to “Hurt”), but don’t sleep on American III. This is Cash at his older but still driven best. A sleeping classic of an album. [First added to this chart: 05/03/2025]

Paula Cole gained label attention as a backup singer for Peter Gabriel in the early nineties. She would have great success with her album This Fire…but first, there was her debut album, 1994’s Harbinger. If you’ve followed Cole’s career at all, you know that she is rarely the same person from album to album, which has been her ultimate downfall. The same exciting singer who gave us the Dawson’s Creek theme (“I Don’t Want To Wait”) and the amazingly bright single “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” on her next album was a scowling, dark and depressing tortured artist just two years earlier. Rumor has it that this album makes even the best shoegaze bands cry.
And to make matters even more depressing, right after this was released, her label (Imago) went out of business, meaning that Harbinger got pretty much zero support. Which turns out to be okay…while this isn’t terrible, the only track really worth hearing more than once is “I Am So Ordinary”…which hardly inspires a party. There are some good moments here, and the seeds of the much finer This Fire are indeed planted here…but ultimately, Harbinger is an average downer of a record. Cole followed up her excellent second album by completely changing course again and alienating her fans…but at least we have that album. Paula Cole is a fine talent who just never seemed to figure out what she wanted to sound like. Too bad for her, and for us. [First added to this chart: 01/30/2025]

Absolutely Live is the only live album released by The Doors during the lifetime of Jim Morrison, and the only one to come out during the active career of the band. It came out in 1970, between the albums Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman. There are some real positives here. Absolutely Live showcases the instrumental abilities of guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and it features a handful of songs not on their studio albums. It also includes the full performance of “Celebration Of The Lizard” (tracks 14 through 20). And there are spots where Morrison sounds great. But there are also places where he sounds like he couldn’t care less about what was going around him. And, of course, as goes Morrison, so go The Doors.
Producer Paul Rothchild has said that there are around 2000 edits on this album. He would have to sometimes piece together one song from multiple shows because he couldn’t get complete takes that were solid enough. The idea was to get the ultimate Doors live experience, but that doesn’t seem to be what they honestly got. Truth is, Absolutely Live is at it’s best when Morrison isn’t singing…or talking, or screaming (the lead vocal on “Close To You” is actually by Manzarek). “When The Music’s Over” is the high point, with Morrison interacting with the crowd perfectly and the band in a complete frenzy. Absolutely Live is, ultimately, a hit and miss affair. Great one moment, flat the next. It’s a live rollercoaster, interesting and important because of who it is. Not their best work, but worth at least a listen. [First added to this chart: 02/07/2025]
